3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
6/2/10 notes: On tap, Beachwood BBQ. Pours dark brown-black with a small head and minimal lacing. Body is medium, creamy yet light enough so as to encourage another sip. Flavor starts with rich toasted brown bread, tobacco, coffee essence, chocolate. Mid-palate contributes an essence of nuts and dried dark fruit (might have been from the licorice/Star Anise), leading into a finish with again forefronts toasted grains and black coffee. Great balance, depth, flavor.

From the can. Dark but somewhat translucent. Decent tannish colored head. Roasty toasty taste of malt and coffee. Nice and bold.

UPDATED: JAN 19, 2013 Can. Pours clear deep brown to black with a large brown head that dissipates with some lacing. Aroma is very today, coffee, tobacco, ashtray. Flavor is the same plus anise, lightly sweet, light to medium bitter, light ashy astringence. Interesting, but a bit too anise and cigarette butty for me. BlackIPA where are you?

Black in color. Huge tan head, with little lacing when it subsides - quickly. Caramel aroma, roasty, and a big nose of alcohol. Don’t really get the anise or licorice. Sweet and a bit of a sourness, mixed in with plenty of alcohol. Creamy mouth-feel and a bit of a chalky aftertaste. Not a bad beer on tap.

16oz can. Pours black with a tan head. Pretty tasty porter with notes of chocolate, coffee and licorice. A bit too expensive for what it is but pretty good overall.
